What is the SSG-2?

The SSG-2 snow scale is a precision device for measuring the snow water equivalent (SWE) of a snow pack. It has been developed for easy installation in the field and is equipped with specially designed aluminium panels which guarantee accurate measurements. These panels form a wide frame around the scale to minimize the effects of ice-bridging. The use of lightweight aluminium reduces thermal resistance, thus improving heat flow through the device. The SSG-2 is equipped with analog and digital ports, which allow integration into weather stations and other monitoring systems.
